Bill > HB05158

This bill seeks to withdraw Connecticut from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) by repealing section 9-175a of the state's general statutes. The NPVIC is an agreement between participating states where they pledge to award their electoral college votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins their individual state. By repealing this section of law, Connecticut would no longer be a member of this interstate compact, effectively returning to the traditional method of allocating its electoral votes based on the state-level election results. The bill is straightforward in its purpose, using a simple legislative mechanism of repealing the existing law to remove the state from the compact.
